Ferreting around the Ferris, you may have noticed our resurrected ferrous seat. This has been the concern of a renegade Ferrisian who, doubtless, twinged by conscience, has for the last few months been lobbying anyone whom he thought might help.

The parish has now five seats. Those marching on the Gower and Hook Norton face outwards, those at the Elm face inwards. Perhaps some friendly Freudian could read something into this.
